“Obviously, it is very handy to have every possible
package just couple of clicks away. Instead of looking for the
package, understanding its version system and available
architecture. Instead of looking for the vendor’s web-site,
seeing all the ads, etc. What you do is just open Synaptic manager,
enter the name of the program, or just a couple of keywords
describing what you need. Then you do couple of clicks and
you’re done.“But when I started using this system I found that there’s
something broken in it. There are several things that bother
me.“Yes, most of the programs are easy to install, but still, some
programs are not in the repository. Others are outdated. Here is
one example.”
